1 Working environment The context More than 20 years of civil war have cost tens of thousands of lives and displaced some 1.6 million people in Uganda. Desperate conditions in the north of the, where IDP camps lack potable water, have led the United Nations to call the situation there one of the world s worst humanitarian catastrophes. But a cessation of hostilities has raised hopes of an end to the suffering. Meanwhile, peace talks between the Government of Uganda and the rebel Lord s Resistance Army have made progress, with agreement reached on three of the five items on the agenda. Uganda s new Refugee Act, which came into force in 2006, includes gender-based persecution as grounds for granting refugee status. The Act takes a progressive approach to freedom of movement, the right to work, land rights, and the treatment of refugees in mass-influx situations. While assisting Sudanese, Congolese and Rwandan refugees who wish to repatriate voluntarily, will also submit eligible cases for resettlement in third countries. The needs aims to build the capacity of government agencies and train their staff to implement the new Refugee Act, and to conduct public awareness campaigns on refugee rights and asylum procedures. The Office will refurbish schools, community halls and health centres for Sudanese refugees, which will be handed over to local communities after the refugees repatriate, also requires support. Total requirements 2008: USD 16,851, : USD 16,147,083 (Annual programme only. The financial requirements for the supplementary programmes are being finalized.) Main objectives Protect and assist refugees and asylum-seekers: help them gain access to asylum procedures; prevent refoulement, abuse and sexual and gender-based violence; and maintain the civilian character of refugee settlements. Under the framework of the cluster approach, protect internally displaced persons (IDPs) against abuse, exploitation and sexual gender-based violence. Facilitate and promote, where feasible, the voluntary repatriation of refugees and the sustainable return of IDPs to their areas of origin. Help all people of concern enjoy their social and economic rights by focusing on self-reliance programmes; primary health care; prevention and treatment of malnutrition, HIV and AIDS and malaria; primary education; water and sanitation; and the empowerment of women. Assist government authorities to implement the new Refugee Act. Global Appeal
2 Respond to new influxes of Congolese asylum-seekers in an effective manner. Cooperate with the early recovery cluster to implement the Peace Recovery and Development Plan and District Development Plans. Key Targets for 2008 and 2009 No cases of refoulement or arbitrary arrest. Some 50,000 Sudanese refugees repatriate voluntarily in 2008 with help, and another 50,000 do so in The time required to determine refugee status is reduced in 2008, with further improvements in All victims of sexual and gender-based violence in refugee and IDP areas receive assistance and counselling. Living conditions in refugee settlements are equal to those in neighbouring local communities. By 2009, all IDP camps are transformed into viable facilities for the local population. Primary school enrolment of refugee children rises in 2008 from 63 per cent to 80 per cent of school-age children. The distribution rates for treated mosquito nets in refugee settlements rises from 40 per cent to 60 per cent of the population in 2008, and is higher in The percentage of women of reproductive age who receive sanitary materials rises from 60 per cent to 80 per cent of the population in 2008, and to 100 per cent in The water supply in camps is increased from the current 12 litres/person/day to 15 litres /person/day in The age, gender and diversity mainstreaming approach is incorporated into all refugee and IDP programmes. The protection capability of Government and local authorities is strengthened with s help. All refugees have access to information on voluntary repatriation and registration procedures. All IDPs have information on assisted voluntary return. develops and implements an exit strategy for IDP areas. Strategy and activities Sudanese refugees will continue to facilitate and, when feasible, promote the voluntary repatriation of Sudanese refugees from Uganda to Southern Sudan. A Tripartite Agreement on Voluntary Repatriation between and the Governments of Sudan and Uganda is expected to result in some 50,000 Sudanese refugees returning home in As part of this process, will organize repatriation-related registration in the settlements, enabling those wishing to return home to do so in safety and dignity. Information campaigns will help refugees to make informed decisions about repatriation. In this regard, in 2008 s priorities include increasing logistical capacity to assist voluntary repatriation; establishing a new repatriation corridor to Nimule and Torit in Sudan s Eastern Equatoria State; and informing refugees about conditions in return areas. Congolese refugees (DRC) There are currently some 30,000 Congolese refugees in south-western Uganda, most living in settlements. will protect and assist these refugees while facilitating their voluntary repatriation. Eligible cases will be submitted for third- resettlement. Deteriorating conditions in eastern areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) pose the risk of a major influx into Uganda. will work with the Government and other actors to make contingency plans for such an eventuality. Rwandan refugees Uganda hosts nearly 20,000 registered refugees of Rwandan origin. Most live in the Nakivale, Oruchinga, Kyangwali, Kiryandongo and Kyaka settlements in western and south-western Uganda. A Tripartite Commission on Repatriation comprising and the Governments of Rwanda and Uganda met in Kigali in July The Commission agreed to support campaigns to provide -of-origin information and promote voluntary repatriation as the best durable solution. 156 Global Appeal
3 /M. Zanardi Uganda Refugees arriving from the DRC in Kisoro District. Urban refugees Up to 20,000 refugees from Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, and Somalia live in Kampala. will help the Refugee Eligibility Committee to build its capacity to conduct refugee status determination and ensure that urban refugees have access to asylum procedures. Constraints Inadequate security in Southern Sudan and the region s low returnee-absorption capacity are deterring many refugees from repatriating. The dispersal of IDP populations over vast areas makes access difficult. Government institutions need to increase capacity, and public information campaigns need to be conducted, before the new Refugee Act can be fully implemented.
